This
song talks about the way women are portrayed in country songs lately. Maddie
& Tae feel they do not receive the respect they used to as part of our
society. Their attire affects how men perceive them when it should not be of
importance. The singers present how stereotypical comments on how women look
will not be tolerated. They are criticizing the patriarchal image which needs
to be ruptured to its core.
Colbie
Caillat sings about women’s empowerment in being simple and natural regardless
of what society dictates. It starts with comments on how women do these
modifications to satisfy what others expect from them outside their natural
state. She asks women to not “try so hard” and if they like themselves when
they’re alone, implicitly reminding them that it is what matters.
Christina
Aguilera raps about social injustice between men and women’s standards. She
mentions how it is unfair for women to not have an opinion on the double
standards of the views of both men and women. Aguilera dedicates this song to
women around the world who are going through those struggles and urging them to
not be held down.
